After meeting
the required conditions set out by the Central Bank, the First National Bank,
now GN Bank has been elevated to the status of a Universal Bank.
With this upgrade in place, the bank will go beyond its normal operation as a savings and loans company.
The Bank which began with only one branch at North Ridge in Accra in October, 2006, now has over hundred branches scattered across the country.
Though the bank had rebranded, its mission and core values remain unchanged. It has employed some unique features making it exceptional among other banking institutions nationwide.
To this effect, the usual logo and colours of the bank has now changed from its usual blue and white colours to Maroon and Gold, with the gold depicting ‘money and wealth and Maroon signifying ‘determination.
Ultimately, GN Bank is in the process of maintaining its corporate mission of developing its human resource with discipline and a service culture strongly backed by improved technology necessary to bring banking services to its cherished customers.
This is evident in the introduction of special products and services including ATMs, which are electronically gh-link enabled, internet banking as well as mobile van banking among other innovative services that far outclass other traditional banks in the country.
The wholly owned Ghanaian Bank is currently the only bank in Ghana that encourages people to save with a minimum amount of 50 pesewas.
At a colourful ceremony held in Bolgatanga, the General Manager, Corporate Banking, Henry Lamptey, said the bank stands a better position of improving the financial status of its customers.
To achieve this, the bank is migrating from customer satisfaction to customer delight with the view to becoming the ‘BIG Best Bank by 2015.
The Chief Executive Officer of GN Bank, Patrick Anumel, said, the Bank is poised to meet its expansion coverage by reaching every corner of the the country.
According to him, the bank’s current status, will enable it serve the ordinary Ghanaian better.
Launching the bank, the President of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs, Naba Sigri Bewong, touched on the bank’s contribution to the socio-economic lives of the people in the region.
He, however, urged the bank to widen its coverage and invest more on technology to help improve the lives of the people for the better.
The Deputy Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Daniel Syme, commended the bank for complementing government’s effort at reducing unemployment in the country.
He moreover charged them to make available, credit facilities for clients to improve on their businesses.
The launching ceremony was attended by stakeholders including chiefs, representatives of some sister banks and business operators among others.
